In the Name of the Father & of the Son & of the Holy Spirit - One God - now & forever. Amen.
Assalamu Alaikum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuh!
I actually read Miz Aziz's book & I recommend that all Muslims invest their time & money into it. Personally, for me, it just confirmed what I thought all along (that polygyny is a form of adultery), but if Muslims are going to advocate it, I guess it should be done in a liveable manner that all parties on earth are satisfied with. Miz Aziz seems happy & is a great role model for all Muslims that are pro-polygyny.
She never claims to be a scholar & constantly states that any mistake in the book is of her own fault & not a reflection of Allah (SWT) or Islam.
One interesting point to note is that in her intro, she dissects the Ayahs pertaining to the issue & mentions that polygyny is the ideal marital state in Islam & monogamy is the secondary command. What's the consensus around here? Agree or disagree?
Thanks & God bless.
